Operating Expenses
Despite the revenue increase, Gaia's selling and operating expenses rose by $2.5 million, or 13.8%, totaling $20.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher marketing expenses, although the percentage of these expenses relative to net revenues decreased slightly to 82.4%.

As the company continues its international expansion, it anticipates more predictable seasonal patterns as it establishes its service offerings across various markets.
